Winter at Spruce Ridge Cabin
Location: Salida, South Central, Colorado, USA (10 miles west of Salida, Colorado)
Accommodations: Modern Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-5)
Our full-sized modern vacation home with 1000 square feet is located 10 miles west of Salida, Colorado and 15 minutes from Monarch Mountain Ski Resort. Spruce Ridge Guest Home is private, secluded and scenic, nestled in aspens and fir trees and overlooks the Little Cochetopa Creek. It is ideal for a couple, or for a family of 4-5 using the sofa beds.
Your home away from home is completely furnished. There is a large bedroom with a queen sized bed, a sleeper sofa, an adjacent private bath and an outside deck. The living room has a sleeper sofa, an adjacent second bath and access to two outside decks. The kitchen has all the appliances of home. You'll also find a utility room with washer/dryer, and a pantry and mudroom for your hiking boots, day packs, ski boots, and jackets.
The vacation home is available for short-term rentals of 2 nights or more year-round. You'll be staying on our 35 acre llama ranch at 8,450 feet and surrounded by the San Isabel National Forest. We are on a county maintained road three miles off of US Hwy 50 and 20 minutes from either Salida or Monarch Ski Resort.
With national forest bordering our ranch on 3 sides, you have unlimited recreation including hiking, world-class whitewater rafting and kayaking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, and fly fishing in the Little Cochetopa Creek that flows right by the cabin. Salida, 10 miles away, boasts the largest downtown historical district and the largest indoor hot springs pool in Colorado. Within a 30 minute drive there are several other hot springs resorts. Salida is also renown for its diverse arts community and galleries.
During the summer, with reservations, you can experience one of our day or overnight llama treks with experienced staff and all equipment provided. Fall provides spectacular colors as the changing aspens contrast with dark green pines. In the winter there’s snowshoeing and cross-country skiing from the cabin, and Monarch Ski and Snowboarding Resort with classic champagne powder is only 15 minutes away. Premier snowmobiling and cross-country ski trails are close by.
We offer a non-smoking environment inside and outside. Because of our llamas and desire to have an allergy-free cabin, pets, including companion pets, are not allowed. Adults and well-behaved children are welcome.
